Matching wits: can two highly opinioned experts find common ground when pairing food and wine?
Article Abstract:
Two food and wine critics evaluated 14 wines for three courses and six cheeses. The pair agreed on the wine selections for two of the courses, and disagreed on other selections. The selections all had strong tastes that the critics were trying to match wines to. Recipes provided include smoked chicken in avocado, grilled salmon fillet, chive-laced mashed potato and warm chocolate fondant.
